My interests outside of work
Outside of work, you can find me at Lake Gaston, an ECU Football game, or somewhere with my friends and family listening to live music. I love to travel locally and abroad, but bonus points of there is a body of water nearby!

My backstory
Born and raised in Rocky Mount, NC – I have done nothing short of move up and down the East Coast my whole life. I attended Faith Christian School all of my minority years and then spent 4 years falling in love with my beautiful Alma Mater, University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I had the pleasure of calling home for a while. Although that may appear as a smooth and seamless transition, I can promise you it was not. I often say that I am thankful for God’s sense of humor because I know He gets a good kick out of me, especially when I think I have a roadmap for how things are supposed to be. While all of my friends were receiving their acceptance letters and roommate assignments during my senior year, I was anxiously waiting to confirm where I would spend my next 4 years. It was not until one week before my high school graduation that my decision was made and I would be spending my first semester of college in Ireland at Maynooth University, and then transitioning to UNCW.

This is where I established life-long connections, a passion for Marketing, and a fearless mentality to “just try it”. I was a Covid-year 2020 graduate and quickly became part of the marketing team with Aramark at UNCW, where I had been an intern for the previous 3 years. This position led to three more promotions and two more Universities: East Carolina University and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. If not obvious enough, my passions lie with marketing and Higher Education. I love living in college towns and when the opportunity arose for me to extend my experience to NC Wesleyan, I had to take it! So, here I finally am, where I work with a team that I cherish and doing a job that I love daily!

What gets me up in the morning!
A chai latte and jam session with either Dolly Parton or Kenny Chesney while I get ready for the day.

My passions and values
All things creativity: thinking it, working at it, selling it, and then making it happen! Value: hard work, supportive relationships, kindness, deep belly laughs, and enjoying the little things in life!
